Chapter 3
Ellie woke up in the woods with her switchblade. She realised that her blue shirt had been torn and she had bad cuts up and down her wrists. She walked around and came to a highway. The sign for where she was overgrown with grass and wood. She looked down toward the metal pole of the sign.
"Fuck..." She muttered.
There were corpses all over the place and some were hung from the trees. A stool had been kicked over and a noose hung over it. She hopped down.
One corpse stood out to her, fresh... it had a hammer through their head. A fire had been lit inside of a wrecked car and clicker husks lay on the floor.
She walked through the wooded areas of the highway, clutching her bleeding arm. A little campfire was in a clearing and there was a med kit next to it as well. Ellie sat down and started tending to her wounds. As she wrapped her arm in a bandage, six yelling voices came from the woods in the opposite direction of the site. It sounded very close. Ellie hid behind a chunk of concrete barrier and waited. She peeked her head over the barrier.
"There she is!" A voice cried.
"Fucking shoot the whore!" Another voice yelled as a bullet skimmed over Ellie's head.
She waited for one of the guys to come around the corner and then stabbed him in the kneecap. He screamed in pain and dropped to the ground. Ellie then stabbed him in the head and grabbed his assault rifle. She poked over the barrier and rapid-fired the gun. She killed every last one of the thugs.
She looted the bodies and kept on walking.
